🚫 Stop Asking Your Dog to Sit After Recall! Here’s Why 👇
It’s one of those habits we’ve all picked up somewhere along the way — you call your dog back, they come running… and before you even think, out comes “Sit!” 🙄
But here’s the thing — when you ask for a sit before rewarding your recall, you’re actually reinforcing the sit, not the come. Over time, that can slow your dog down, because they start anticipating that stop-and-sit instead of charging back to you full of enthusiasm. 🐕💨
In our latest video, we dive into why this old-school habit doesn’t help your recall, what to teach instead, and how to build that fast, happy, reliable recall every owner dreams of. 👇
